Do Newport Beach Rehab Homes Have Addictionolgists?

I looked up the word Addictionologist on Dictionary.com and this came up, but if you do a Google Search, it appears that the word really exists. I suppose for $67,000 a month, you can get one...in Malibu.

In today's LA Times is this article about the legal problems Malibu Rehab homes are having...but they weren't for the same reasons they are having problems in Newport. People are suing them because they pay for everything up front, and after they get kicked out 5 days later, they don't get any of their money back:

"Logan's brother, Garfield, says he paid $42,000 up front to admit the former professional surfer for a month at Promises' canyon-top Mediterranean-style home. Five days later, he says, Promises kicked Logan out for belligerent behavior but kept all the money."

Boo-freaking-Hoo.

Anyway, reading through the article you don't get a sense that the neighbors are complaining of their "Clustering" problems.

In fact, I got the feeling reading through the article that they are pretty darn neat.

It actually reads like a fluff piece on how great these Rehab homes are.

Why should we complain that there are over 100 on the Peninsula?

"Some of the Malibu centers are known for lavish accommodations, including 500-thread-count sheets, gourmet meals and ocean views. Passages offers multiple mansions; marbled baths; 65-inch flat-screen televisions; and massage, acupuncture and hypnotherapy rooms."

Now, I want to go to one...
